Gbenga dropped out of sec. school. Although a very bright student one thing or the other made him leave school, his boyhood friend Peter however managed to go on with his studies, and at a time when it wasn’t easy to make a Division A, in WAEC, Peter did. He won a scholarship to study abroad and left for London where he did a first and postgraduate degree, crowning it with a Ph.D in Aeronautic Engineering, he was a hot cake and had his pick of jobs abroad.
Time passed and Gbenga forgot about his friend Peter.
Gbenga married, had 7 kids, and was in the village suffering.
One fateful day he went to the market in Bukuru, as he made to cross the road an oncoming car sreeched to a stop, pulled over to the cab and stopped. A well dressed man stepped out, shouting his name. If not for the familiarity of the man's features and voice, Gbenga would have ran away but something made him to stop and walk back towards the car. He bent respectfully and greeted the man standing beside the well polished car.
Gbenguse, is this you? The car owner enquired, calling Gbenga's nickname, way back in his secondary school days. It all came back, he hadn't heard that name for decades, taking a closer look he discovered this was his one and only friend from way back - Peter!
He took 2 steps back and shouted, Perosky danger! (peter's nickname) This u? What u doing here? Pleasantries over, Gbenga
narrated his ordeal to Peter who was actually in a hurry heading back to Lagos to catch a flight the next day back to London, he had no time. He pulled from his glove compartment a Union Bank Cheque Booklet, wrote a cheque of 5million, handed it over to his friend and zoomed off. In the euphoria, Gbenga did not even ask for Peter's address, there was no Gsm then so no phone numbers were exchanged either.
Gbenga could read the words on the cheque well, he quickly left the market and went home to tell the wife and leave for Union Bank at Jos to cash the cheque. He called his wife inside and told her what had happened. He proceeded to tell her his intentions about the money. He would give her 500k to start her business while he would build a house, expand his yam farm and then lastly, marry a second wife to help on the farm!
The wife heard nothing except two words 'second wife'. Enraged beyond words, she grabbed the cheque from the husband and chewed and swallowed it!
Thats the end of the story.#copied
Can you guess what message this story aims to pass across?
Aaahhh! Gbenga sef, his last priority was just not necessary and the wide was quick to anger. In our excitement we should try to be calm.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm! All I can say is that the woman is mean...
ReplyDeleteI am not here to answer the question.. Just here to say I broke into a smile @ Gbenguse and Perosky danger🤣🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ReplyDeleteEhhhhh
ReplyDeleteIt better be a dreaM
ReplyDeleteWhy should he marry a second wife? 7 children are there if helping in the farm was an issue.
ReplyDeleteJoor, i like the wife's style biko. Mek them continue in the poverty state. Stupid man!!! Let that be a lesson to men who are humble in lack with one wife but start chasing women outside when they start having small change as per when furtune sets in
This comment made me laugh so hard. ..call me evil but life is peaceful when my husband is dead broke
DeleteIts true oh I even forgot. 7 children can expand the yam farm well!! Lol at perosky danger!
DeleteImagine the stupid man, he don see 5million come dey reason 2nd wife! Let them remain poor since he no get sense. 7 children can’t help you in the farm. Onye ala!!
DeleteShe did the Right thing. Lol
ReplyDeleteWhich kain village people at work be this one? Don't know whether to shout 'Men are scum' or vice versa. This one weak me!!
ReplyDeleteThe true character of a man comes out when he has money.
ReplyDeleteMay God bless you. I will comfortably marry or be a 2nd wife to a rich man who will tale care of me. Dem go dey form good woman..suffer head group of company!!!!
DeleteLol @ unknown
DeleteHian!
ReplyDeleteGbenga village is on terrible mission against his life.5million gone like that.#iambornofGod#
ReplyDeleteFoolish woman. Smile, agree, get your share of the money and run away with your kids.
ReplyDeleteGrab 2/3 of the money not just any share.
DeleteInfact! Drug him to sleep then escape with every every.
He should go marry his new wife and let them continue from scratch like him and the wife suffered.
Yeye men everywhere.
I suppose he had been nursing the idea of a second wife before.
ReplyDeleteI can't blame the wife though.
That man has dug his grave cause the wife will make sure he doesn't see money in his entire life.
Fear a broke man ehhhh
Please leave the wife alone and focus on gbenga. It was that mindset that made gbenga still wallow in poverty!!! Mumu man. After suffering with him all the way with 7 kids you did not think of how to better the lives of the kids and the suffer head wife, na to marry 2nd wife Were!!! Una don hear suffer head women wey think say their pussy n.a. gold... No marry better man siddon dey do good woman!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is the reason why some women don't pray their husband's get rich.imagine that he has been nursing the ambition on polygamy,just that hr wasn't capable.serves him right.that woman has suffered with him for God knows how many years,he now wants to bring another to enjoy..thunder fire him
ReplyDeleteHaaaaahaaa my husband is so kind loving and caring when he is broke...looooool
DeleteSo so true @ Benwari,Ufuoma when money was not there he didn't remember to marry another wife mtseeeew at the,stupid man
ReplyDeleteVillage people....
ReplyDeleteI guess he had wanted that before but money was a restraint. You know the true character of people when money comes.
ReplyDeleteThey should continue with the poverty. His village people are really on his case.
So how many kids will the second wife have?
ReplyDeleteI laughed so hard, my boy is looking at me like has mama gone loco? Women will always be women,she tore the check and chewed it up, I didn't expect that either, but that's what he gets for being insensitive.
ReplyDeleteHmmmn, if am the wife. I will allow him cash the cheque then poison him. Idiot man,useless man, he is better off dead. I will mourn him a rich widow.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to type poison but hey! I don't want a stupid man's blood on my hands so I settled for drugging him and running away with the money.
DeleteI like the wife.
ReplyDeleteShe did what ought to be done.
Stupid man, 7 whole children not enough for him.
You were suffering with your children and God sent somebody to come rescue you from poverty and the next thing you think of is a second wife.
That's why women shouldn't pray for their spouses to have money.
Pray for God to bless you with your own money so you don't have heart attack over one man cos money miss road and got to his hands.
He should go marry a second wife as they continue in their suffer.
why not collect the 500k as settlement. she is holding on to a poor man. let him marry 1000 wives. collect your 500k and establish a business to cater for your 7 kids
DeleteMoney appeared sense departed!
ReplyDeleteTwo illitereates...hope she swallowed d paper😕
Let me go back to my movie "Annihilation "
I've said and I'm still saying;;;
ReplyDeleteDO NOT MARRY A BROKE MAN!
DO NOT BUILD ANYTHING WITH ANY MAN!
Men aren't loyal at all.
You only know their true colours when they get money.
Me and my slutty tohtoh have said my own finish, if you like stay there and be doing responsible, girl with good upbringing and settle for less bcos you want to build with a man.
Building with a man works if he is a good man but if you marry community dick OYO
DeleteHow come nobody is seeing the lesson of keeping your plans to your self.
ReplyDeleteWhen plan no dey pure that is what they get.
DeleteDo you know the midnight cries, silent cries the woman must have been having to see a breakthrough for the family.
The poor man is not pure at all
What kind of yeye plan?
DeleteThe lesson there is to appreciate your woman who went through ups and downs with you when you eventually make it.
@ Toni, I got the same message as well, guy man should have cashed the money first and have it in his account.
DeleteThen carry out his plans without disclosing the full extent of his financial blessing, though, towing the path of polygamy isn't a wise choice.
Poor man with 2.wives mentality
ReplyDelete. That is why not good to be praying for a broke man to get money.
See where he put mind second wife.
The first wife no waste time, lets remain like dat i
The message: tame your tongue; don’t count your chicks b4 the eggs hash...omo, I don high as I Dey here so....
ReplyDeleteBia ina hash abi harsh abi Hatch life is good when you are high
DeleteThe wife did the right thing there!!!
ReplyDeleteYeah..destroy the cheque & let remain as they r.
Any woman caught up like this or binded (kids & family) together with spiritual cursed man (mental poverty) should just never mind & focus only on herself & her kids. Consider him as a walking / living dead & treat him as such. Block every better thing coming his direction & do only ur things well.
1d1ot man!!!
See so many men think it's ok to expose a woman who marry them or have kids for them to poverty life with authority.
Tufiakwa!!
Bottom line, the humility of a poor man cannot be trusted.
ReplyDeleteThat woman is the real MVP, if na me be Gbenguse, lol. I go carry that woman go bank make them go scan that check for her belle😂😂😂
Hmmmm some poor people are actually the cause of their poverty.
ReplyDeleteWho starts listing what he will do with the money before cashing it.
Me that received millions recently from a property in my family. I didn't even tell my husband. I put it into fixed deposit straight up.
You are no different from gbenguse and the wife, putting millions into a fixed deposit who does that??
DeleteThe only ppl who can fix money are usually those with lack of proper financial planning or such ppl who have so much and just looking for passive income ( but mbok pardon my ignorance na the responses for the gbenguse matter dey make me para)...
Forgive me to say I read through the comment section and I can bet 80% of the comments are from women and the respondents sound more like those who could do worse to this man just because they heard the word SECOND WIFE. But from my perspective I feel this story if true is one which shows how people allow emotions becloud their sense of reasonning that they act irrationally. I do not support gbenguse adding SECOND WIFE (unfortunately for a lot of ppl marriage na achievement) as a priority but the wife destroying the check is an act of stupid (who knows she may have been the real reason they continued in poverty just like some commenters have said she may prolly have been using all means to block everything good from coming his way ( afterall gbenguse is a farmer and who said farmers should remain poor when they feed nations) as a way of thinking poverty will keep Gbenguse as hers forever beleive me this is why a lot of families are and will remain poor). The bigger picture is like both her husband and some people here have said is for she to take her cut, diggesting 5m check doesnt translate to 5m food in her tummy, abi food no hungry her again after that?. Please LADIES before y'all with hate for men will start spilling your venum on your husbands remember that marriage is not the ultimate achievement of an individual and stopping all the good things coming his/her way out of rage or anger, doesnt stop the other from executing their intentions when next fortune smiles on them!!!
Be careful with your testimonies.some will bring you hatred and lots of enemies.
